WIFI CONNECTIVITY
Boost and extend your WiFi signal.
AB Aerials have recently introduced a range of Access Points (AP) that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN) either to a “dead spot” or around the house and even in to the garden and beyond!! For example, if you want to enable Wi-Fi access in your recently converted cellar but don’t have a router within range, you can install an access point in the cellar and run an Ethernet cable back to the router. A bespoke WLAN can be set up to be run independently from your existing Wi-Fi or in conjunction with it.
What’s the difference between a Wi-Fi extender and an AP I hear you ask? As its name implies, a range extender lengthens the reach of an existing Wi-Fi network. Since range extenders connect wirelessly to Wi-Fi routers, they must be placed where the Wi-Fi router’s signal is already strong, not in the location of the actual dead spot.
Wireless Access Points Products
There are a range of products and functionalities that can be tailored to suit customer requirements. AP’s can be categorised in to three main products:
IN WALL ACCESS POINTS
Which provide a separate WLAN or combined WLAN and data access point.
CEILING ACCESS POINTS
Which provide Wi-Fi (flooding) throughout the property
BRIDGES
Which can provide Wi-Fi from building to building both point to point and point to multi point
Technology is reaching a point where decent Wi-fi signals can be had in every room of the house as long as the ethernet cable run from the router to the AP is do-able. Multiple devices can be added to the network without loss of signal/drop out to individual rooms or the whole property or even the man shed at the bottom of the garden.
